He said: “This is a very unfortunate scene taking place at Clarkston toll tonight involving the use of Police Scotland’s only police helicopter, taking a ground response of 10+ vehicles and 20+ police officers on the scene.
“It is my understanding that the officers deployed pepper spray on some individuals to defend themselves while being assaulted.
“This has taken away valuable police resources from other areas to police this.
“As a matter of proper process I will be in contact with the area commander at Police Scotland this evening to get a full understanding of what took place and who was responsible along with working with the community safety team at the council to make sure we can stamp this behaviour out.
